Abstract
Described herein are systems and methods for determining IP backhaul issues in a femtocell network. A fault analysis tool retrieves log files from various components within the femtocell network and, using programmed logic, parses the log files and determines whether it is likely that an issue exists with the IP backhaul that prevents the femtocell network from communicating with the network of a wireless carrier. Additional automated tools are able to identify issues within the femtocell network and send instructions to one or more components in the femtocell network to correct the issues.
